Hall of the Novice suggestions
I've been leveling a new character and noticed a few things that could be improved with this system.
- Change the system from being entirely optional to a dialog box allowing players to skip all tutorials, then make Sastasha unavailable unless the player a) skips the tutorial, or b) completes all exercises. The reasoning for this is I've noticed many new players are unaware there's more than one exercise, or don't read the quest and charge forth to Sastasha without doing the exercises, the dialog box will make sure the player knows he is skipping all exercises and rewards.
- Improve early text so players know there's a 30% exp ring at the end of the exercises, this will motivate new players to finish all exercises, at the moment a new player will see the tutorial as pointless as it doesn't show what rewards you can obtain.
- Improve NPC text to remove any embellishments, like pirate slang coming from the Roegadyn tank trainer, this is a tutorial and text should be as neutral as possible so players understand the gameplay elements being explained.
